As the noble Lord was informed by my noble friend Lord Harris, the Minister of State for Home Affairs, on the 14th April, in United Kingdom law all citizens of Commonwealth countries including the United Kingdom are British subjects. It is estimated that, excluding Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States of America, for which no figures are available, there are at least 500,000 patrial United Kingdom nationals living abroad. Precise figures are not available since United Kingdom nationals resident overseas are not bound to register with our diplomatic posts. The following table gives the estimated numbers resident in each country. There is no means of knowing how many of these persons are domiciled in their country of residence.
